Sorry, guys, I left for work and didn't see these posts until now. Unfortunately, I can't communicate much right now but could be reached this evening via PM and I will supply my cell phone number or PIN. My account is a government account that was formerly on AT&T. I had a full data package on it because I was first using the account with the Siemens SX-56. Later I added the BlackBerry 7100t to the account and recently I changed devices to a 7290 and it came with an Orange SIM but I may still be a Blue account. My old Blue SIM would no longer work.

maybe it is only Blue accounts that have access which might explain why I can also tether and use it as a MODEM. However, since AT&T accounts are now part of Cingular you would think they could or would offer the same service.
